President Trump has decided that it is important that he keep tweeting from his personal Twitter account because it allows him to speak directly to the American people outside of the filter of the mainstream media, by which he means the media’s pesky insistence on fact-checking his comments and including unflattering news in analysis of his presidency. Over the weekend, Trump took this defense of his social-media use to a new place: Not only is his tweeting perfectly fine for a president, but it is defining what it means to be presidential.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump My use of social media is not Presidential - it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again! 5:41 PM - 1 Jul 2017 54,062 54,062 Retweets 187,414 187,414 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy In a sense, this is probably true, for better or worse.
But Trump’s defense of his tweeting depends largely on the idea that he’s unusually skilled at social media, playing the strings of Twitter like the first-chair violinist at the New York Philharmonic.
What if, instead, Trump’s not that great at Twitter? What if … Barack Obama is better?
Allow us to present that case.

Lol... This reeks of jealousy, desperation, and Owellianism.
These people are RETARDED.
24/7 twitter coverage from the MSM. He’s livin’ in their heads rent free!
How many unique followers does Obama have?
What, you haven’t noticed the saturation of current YT videos about Obama’s tweets?

Obama is a twit.
Another fake story from the WaPo.
Of course he is! Why would anyone think otherwise?
Oh, wait... I thought it read TWERKING...
My bad.
No, Trump is better at TWITTER...
Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania AKA Lady MAGA
Good grief! Now they are jealous about a twit feed??? Wait I thought they wanted Trump to stop tweeting? Now they are comparing it to fake twits by obama?
These people are insane.
LOL..the Compost covered for Obambi’s birth certificate, Franklin Davis, Bill Ayers, FarrahConMan, “Rev” Wright, et al connections . . his racism in every black/white conflict (Thugvon, Beer Summit, St. Michael Brown, etc) His CommieCare lies . . .
And yet the crybabies wet their britches over Twitter
Grow up, you childish bastards
So I’m supposed to subscribe to the compost? What did I miss here?
You said it all. Nothing left to say...
He Tweets us, sends his contributors emails and controls the White House digital system. He bypasses the left wing mediots, when he communicates directly with us.
Again, neither President Trump, nor his 62+ million voters need, nor do we want the NY Slimes, BBC, ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the LaRaza/LA Slimes, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Times trying to tell us what our president is telling us. We know what he is saying without their twisting and word games. Free Republic is the best site for real news.
We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us. There is zero filtering, adjusting and lying to us when Trump talks to us directly!
Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.
Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter or the Whitehouse.com is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians, Never Trumpsters and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle “Trump’s Twitter feed which traumatizes Washington and his enemies.
Finally, Free Republic is the best site for real news. Thanks for your past contributions and future contributions to keep Free Republic available for real news not Fake News!
So how do I access the article?
Trump has 30+mil followers, how many like me who do not do the twit follow his tweets? I am thinking very many.
